OCL is just as quiet, lighter, and since it is all Ti, much easier to clean. Plus, OCL is a pretty cool company. I already had my masks when the released the Ti. If I pick up a third rimfire, it will be the Ti.
The Meateater store currently (and for at least a couple of days) has stock of the MKC x Meateater collab knife.

More on it:
I have had knee pain for a while, got pretty bad last spring. Dr thought torn meniscus, so had a CT (can't do MRIs now), not enough resolution for a tear, but it did show pretty advanced arthritis and other abuse. Got the steroid shot and three days later it felt as good as it has in years...
You might try the rangers - they are like a step up from the renegades. I have also found the Zyphers to fit very closely as well for a lighter weight option.
I had a 2000 (first year) and a 2008. Both were great, 2008 had to replace the timing belt. Bought a 2023 frontier because they built the xterras on a frontier frame, engine, etc. I really wish they would have released an updated xterra though.
I would assume not in the US for the MR case. Probably where ever MR does most of their manufacturing, maybe SK?
Different styles of cases, both seem equal in quality. I am keeping the Sitka/MR collab case and selling the marsupial, for what it is worth.
They did a custom order of 8.6 (actually .357) Hydrogens. Might be a good option for straight wall states and .350 legend, since it will also handle other centerfire rounds, up to .300rum, I believe.

There are some decent 9mm bore cans that can handle 556/300bo/350 legend along with 9mm, like DeadAir wolfman and otter creek lithium. So, something like that that could cover two of your use cases. If you want to run something on a pistol vs pcc, then you end up having to switch around the...
I picked up a RF.1 this spring - haven't hunted with it yet, but it seems really nice. Very clear glass, and the forest mode has worked well in my testing so far.
It isn't cheap, but you can extend the range with TSS and a turkey choke for it.
Suppressed .22 would be my choice. Or even one of the higher end air rifles.
Pants I don't think it matters all that much. For tops, and esp for jackets, the "hunting" companies tend cut them so that they don't bind when you draw a bow or shoulder a rifle.
Wait times are still all over the place. Canceling and refiling is no guarantee if getting one of the fast approvals. If you buy another, there is the possibility of getting a "batch" approval, though those also still seem sorta random.
You can call the atf and check the status - likely you...
